DocFetcher is an Open Source desktop search application: It allows you search the contents of documents on your computer. – You can think of it as Google for your local document repository. The application is currently available for Windows and Linux.

Finding files that other search engines miss. Agent Ransack is a free ‘lite’ version of FileLocator Pro. It is free for both personal and commercial use.

First released in April 2000 Agent Ransack has been helping people find files for over 10 Years. To celebrate Agent Ransack’s 10th birthday we’ve created a huge update which includes these new features:

Have you ever needed to find a file buried somewhere in your computer? Have you ever needed to find a specific string of text inside a file? FileSeek can do that, and more. FileSeek is lightning fast, small and super easy to use. It can even be integrated right into the Windows Explorer right-click menu to provide quick and easy access. FileSeek doesn’t use background indexing, so when FileSeek is closed your computer’s performance won’t be affected.

Features

Search for text string matches inside any kind of file

Match Regular Expressions inside any kind of file

Search a folder and all of its sub-folders

Match 1 or more file patterns, like *.jpg, file?.txt or anything else you can imagine

A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching.

If you are a blogger or use some kind of online bookmark service such as delicious you must be very familiar with tags, it’s a powerful and efficient way to organize blog articles or bookmarks. Now it’s the time to use this powerful tool to organize our computer files!

Locate32 is a replacement application for the Windows search function. The application uses an indexing system very similar to that of Linux computers to find and remember where your files and folders are located on your system. There is a little drawback here. The application does not really do this automatically. You have to execute an included application to index your files. This update application will open a CMD window and do the indexing on the background. It shows a DOS window as well. There are other applications that can run processes on the background and update your file indexes in real-time. However, in allowing you to determine when to index, Locate32 makes sure that your system will not be made slow by an indexing process. You can search files using extensions (on a separate text field) and also by name.

There are a lot of wild cards that you can use to find your long-lost file. I like the fact that I don’t have to type *.exe to find an application. I just tell Locate32 what file I want, and it will find it for me, just like that.
